Massachusetts Lawyers Weekly Recognizes Josh Barlow as a 2026 Leader in the Law

Arnold & Porter partner Josh Barlow has been selected as a 2026 Massachusetts Leaders in the Law honoree by Massachusetts Lawyers Weekly. The annual award celebrates attorneys throughout the state who have demonstrated exceptional legal skill, sustained professional leadership, and meaningful contributions to the communities they serve.

Josh is a seasoned trial lawyer whose nearly two decades of litigation experience span complex commercial disputes, product liability, and antitrust matters, with a particular focus on life sciences clients. He has litigated cases to verdict before juries, judges, and arbitrators in federal and state courts across the country and in both domestic and international arbitration, bringing the same courtroom discipline to matters ranging from medical device design and manufacture to nationwide mass tort and consumer class action defense.

His 2026 recognition builds on the successful outcome in Cynosure LLC, et al. v. Reveal Lasers LLC, et al., named one of Massachusetts Lawyers Weekly's 2025 Top Verdicts. Josh, and Arnold & Porter partners Dipanwita Amar, Matthew Diton, Joseph Farris, and Fred Kelly tried the case and secured a unanimous jury verdict for a leading provider of medical aesthetic devices in a non-competition and trade secret case, with the court subsequently doubling the award to approximately $35 million in compensatory and punitive damages, interest, and attorneys’ fees.
